FOG rolls into Hillsboro Cemetery for 1st work day
Lead Summary
By
John Glaze-
A chilly morning met with FOG (Friends of Greenwood) on Nov. 13 as the first workday at Hillsboro Cemetery took place.
Time was spent first cleaning up fallen branches and limbs from trees in Section A. The stone tablet of an infant was straightened and reset.
Then the group worked on sunken markers in Section B. The slotted bases for these were about 9” below grade, and they were raised up, mud scraped off and reset with crushed limestone beneath. They will be given a thorough cleaning in the spring.
